Which ones, Rob?
In no particular order:
Futur
Slant
Gillette President
Vision (I'm still getting used to it)
Which ones, Rob?
.My favorite used to be the Merkur 1904. But it's been edged out by "The Sledgehammer": Merkur 38C. It is awe-inspiring: the weight of a sledgehammer combined with the precision of a scalpel.
TWO gold Slants!!! There must be a story there. One for each hand?My chrome Merkur Heavy Duty Classic Straight Bar Razor #34C (the HD), works so well for me that my two gold Merkur slants (#37G) sit in a drawer and I have no desire to try other razors including the new Merkur 38C. I have held the Merkur Long Handle Classic in an Art of Shaving store and vastly prefer the HD Classic in my hand.

You guys are an influence on me. I have about two dozen Gillettes, my favorite being the 40's Super Speed. But I have just ordered a Merkur HD just because so many of you guys rave about it. I had them include a tube of Proraso Green too, just to see what all the fuss is about. You guys are costing me money.
I'm about to order my first Merkur after making the jump to DE shaving and Letterk's sampler pack-yet to try the Feather blades-I'm hoping someone here can recommend a nice Merkur in addition to my Gillette adjustable...Thks!
